Mark’s Eagle Project involved designing and building two fire circles and four sets of benches for the Paradise Farm Camp in Downingtown – which provides summer camping experiences for underprivileged youth.  Prior to building and installing the benches,  he and his fellow scouts had to clear out one existing fire pit, and then dig the two new pits, lining them with heavy stones.
